Your HP service representative is responsible for installing the disk array and formatting the disk devices. You are responsible for configuring the host server for the new devices with assistance from your HP service representative. Features and requirements Ask your HP service representative about the latest supported hardware and software. The disk array has the following features: • Storage capacity. The storage capacity for each model is listed below: XP128: From8to128drivesforupto36TB,48FCports XP1024: From8to1024drivesforupto149TB,64FCports XP10000: Up to 240drivesforupto69.2TB,48FCports XP12000: Up to 1152 drives for up to 332 TB, 128 FC ports • Server support. Server supported by HP to run Linux. Consult your HP representative for a list of supported servers. • Operating system support. Red Hat, SuSE, and United Linux are supported. Before installing the disk array, ensure the environment conforms to these requirements: • Fibre Channel Port configuration Configure each Fibre Channel port on the disk array so it has a unique Fibre Channel loop ID. (All ports are set to 0 by default at the factory.) • Linux version Confirm you are using Red Hat, SuSE, or United Linux. • Superuser access Make sure you have superuser (root) login access to the Linux system. • Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). Install HBAs and all utilities and drivers. Refer to the adapter documentation for installation details • (Recommended) HP StorageWorks Remote Web Console XP, Command View XP Advanced Edition or Command View XP with LUN management feature for configuring disk array ports and paths • (Recommended) HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP • (Optional) OtheravailableXPsoftware(somemaynotbesupportedbyyour system): HP StorageWorks Business Copy XP Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide: Linux 9 HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Extension XP HP StorageWorks Auto LUN XP HP StorageWorks Data Exchange XP HP StorageWorks Resource Manager XP HP StorageWorks RAID Manager XP HP StorageWorks Cache LUN XP HP StorageWorks Auto Path XP HP StorageWorks Cluster Extension XP HP StorageWorks Performance Advisor XP Fibre Channel interface The XP family of

All rights reserved. Master thesis report IDE 1325 School of Information Science, Computer and Electrical Engineering Halmstad University Preface I would like to express my appreciation to my supervisor, Professor Tony Larsson, for the many useful discussions, comments and suggestions on this thesis and also my thanks go to the staff of Halmstad University for giving me the opportunity to study in the computer network engineering program. Finally, my special thanks to my family for their encouragement and support during my stud ies. Siavash Hajirostam Halmstad, November 2013 i Abstract Due to growing the number of Information Technology (IT) users all around the world, consequently the amount of data that needs to be stored is increasing day by day. Single attached disks and old storage technologies cannot manage the storing these amounts of data. Storage Area Network (SAN) is a distributed storage technology to manage the data from several nodes in centralize place and secure. This thesis investigates how SAN works, the file system and protocols that are used in implementation of SAN. The thesis also investigate about other storages technologies such as Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Direct Attached Storage (DAS) to figure out the advantages and disadvantages of SAN , The main focus of the thesis project is on identifying the security vulnerabilities in SAN such as possible attacks in different SAN protocols.
